Volume Ramp of Intel s Next-Gen Sapphire Rapids Xeon SP CPU Family Not Expected Till 2023, Alleges Rumor
The slide shows Intel s upcoming Xeon CPU families which include the recently launched Cooper Lake-SP along with the upcoming Ice Lake-SP & Sapphire Rapids-SP lineups. Intel was expected to launch its Ice Lake-SP processors this year but they have slipped the 2020 launch schedule & will now be launching in the first half of 2021. However, knowing Intel s 10nm ramp, we cannot say for sure if Ice Lake-SP will be available in full or partial volume.
